Global Changes to the Twelfth Edition

Thousands of changes were made to this edition, most of which you'd never notice. Sentences were clarified, statistics were updated, figure legends were changed. All in the name of making this edition a little bit better than the last. The following list represents a few of the larger changes you'll encounter.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: McGraw Hill is dedicated to creating products that foster a culture of belonging and are accessible to all the diverse global customers we serve. Within this edition, content has been reviewed to implement inclusive content guidelines around topics including generalizations and stereotypes, gender, abilities/ disabilities, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, diversity of names, and age.

Art Accessibility: Accessibility has been improved in this edition by ensuring meaningful text and images are distinguishable and perceivable by users with limited color vision and moderately low vision.
